American Airlines Won’t Return to Israel Until At Least October
The three big U.S. carriers are taking very different approaches to the resumption of Tel Aviv services.
American Airlines has delayed its return to Israel until at least October. The carrier confirmed to Skift that operations to and from Tel Aviv will remain suspended until October 26, 2024.
In line with most other international airlines, American halted all flights to the country after the start of the Israel-Gaza war in early October 2023. The latest development means the company will be out of the Israeli market for at least a year.
Although American won’t be flying nonstop to Israel this summer, it says alternative options will be available. This includes traveling via London with British Airways.
